About The Position

Avante Health Solutions is hiring an on-site, full-time TEE Probe Repair Technician in Concord, North Carolina. The technician diagnoses and repairs transesophageal (TEE) ultrasound probes, complex devices that combine electronics, imaging arrays, and precision mechanical articulation. The role focuses on restoring probes so they can safely return to patient care and offers the opportunity to build specialized expertise through hands-on TEE training. This is primarily a seated bench role in a repair lab. It requires fine finger dexterity for most of the shift and close-range vision (corrected vision is acceptable). The work may involve occasionally lifting up to 40 pounds and handling probes received from clinical use in accordance with biohazard protocols. Occasional travel may be required, along with an insurable driving record.
